Request for edit summary edit

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

 

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 15:10, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Areas edit

Regarding this, would you perhaps be interested in compiling something like a list of cities and towns in Russia by area (similar to the list of cities and towns in Russia by population)? Of course, referencing the numbers will be a huge task in itself, but the result could be interesting...—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 03:12, 23 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Well, I'll try. It's rather strange, but I was sure that I had seen such list somewhere in Wikipedia. And now I can't find it. — D V S [?!], 06:30, 23 March 2007 (UTC).Reply
Thanks! Feel free to let me know if you need help in the process.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 12:09, 23 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Nicola Gargaglia E Rita Comisi - Vorrei Incontrarti Fra Cent'anni 3.jpg) edit

 

Thanks for uploading Image:Nicola Gargaglia E Rita Comisi - Vorrei Incontrarti Fra Cent'anni 3.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
